Working from home during a COVID-19 lockdown: Can you claim a tax deduction for rent?
The ATO has long held firm on the principle that rent payments (being a form of occupancy costs) are generally outgoings “of a private or domestic nature” and therefore not deductible, even where part of the rented home is used as a home office. However, it has been accepted that in some circumstances, a rent deduction may be claimed if a part of the home is used exclusively for income-producing activities and there is no alternative place of business provided by the taxpayer’s employer.

No one can say for certain what the markets will do. What we do know however is that investors fare best when they focus on the factors they can control.
SMSFs, employee share schemes & NALI
Acquiring shares under an employee share scheme (ESS) via your self managed superannuation fund (SMSF) may appear attractive but greater uncertainty has arisen following the ATO’s recent ruling, LCR 2021/2, on the application of the non-arm’s length income (NALI) rules to such a transaction.
Low interest rates require a strategic rethink
In an era of lower-for-longer interest rates and investment returns, retirees in particular should be thinking beyond just income generation to fund their lifestyle spending.

- Balance sheet

Without these, any necessary accounting processes for your business will not be able to proceed.

SMSF Auditing
Self-Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSFs) offer a good strategy option for many individuals, families and small business owners to build tax-effective wealth and to protect assets over time. SMSFs are becoming popular for those who are ready to take control of their own super investments as they give you ultimate control and flexibility to manage your retirement benefits.
It must be noted though, that you will have increased responsibilities as a trustee of the fund. As an SMSF trustee, you need to keep up to date with all required regulations and keep up with the fast-paced financial markets.
All Self Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSF) are required to be audited. The methodology behind this is to ensure that the health and integrity of your super fund is maintained. All our registered SMSF auditors are fully qualified practising accountants and will assist you above and beyond your expectations. Essentially, maintaining the integrity of your fund and naturally adding value to the audit by ensuring that your fund is being utilised to its fullest capacity.
Most trustees of funds leave it up to their accountants to pick the auditor. As the trustee of a fund, you have the option of having your fund audited by someone you can trust. We are always happy to liaise with you and your accountant to ensure you receive value from the audit, not just an audit report and a bill.
